Greetings Steemians!

After taking a short break from [Steemscape](https://steemscape.com) development, we are back with some new features.  Today we are announcing a small batch of updates to the dashboard UI and a bug fix. As always, our mission is to provide you with information to help you get the most out of your Steemit account, and provide tools to help it grow in value.

## New Dashboard Panels

### Blacklist status
Shows your account status with the major Steem blacklist providers: @buildawhale, @minnowbooster, @redeemer, @steemcleaners and @utopian-io. A green tick indicates that your account is not on the blacklist, a red X indicates that it is.

### Resource credits/mana
This panel was suggested by our users after the launch announcement. You asked, we answered! Your current resource credits regeneration percentage is shown. If your RC mana is less than 100%, the component will show the time remaining before your mana regenerates completely. If your RC mana is at 100%, the component will show how much time has passed since your mana regenerated completely.

### Vote value
Shows how much your 100% upvote is currently worth in SBD. Based on @yabapmatt's  [calculation method]( https://steemit.com/steem/@yabapmatt/how-to-calculate-the-value-of-a-vote). This value will change depending on your current voting power percentage. The value at the bottom of the panel shows how much your vote is worth when your VP is at 100%.

## Authentication bug fix
Some users have reported difficulties with SteemConnect logins due to an update in the SteemConnect API. This has been fixed, so all users should be able to log in normally again. Please let us know if any issues come up.

## How do I sign up/log in?
Signing up is easy! Just click on the "Log in to Steemscape" button on the front page at steemscape.com. You will then be redirected to SteemConnect and asked if you would like to grant access to the Steemscape application. If you don't have a SteemConnect account, or you aren't logged in, then you will be asked to log in to SteemConnect using the same credentials you use for Steemit. Once you have logged in to SteemConnect then you will be redirected to the Steemscape dashboard. That's it! You will need to re-authenticate with SteemConnect occasionally - if so you will be redirected automatically to SteemConnect.

## What's Next?
Most of our features provide stats and information about your Steem account is doing. We are hard at work on our first feature specifically designed to help you add value to your account. We hope to make this available early in the new year. Also, we have taken on board all of the suggestions that our users have sent us since the launch announcement. Some of these were really good ideas (like showing a graph of steem power over time), and we have included them in our roadmap for 2020. Please keep the suggestions coming, and stay tuned for new features!
